Be a Guest Writer!

Have a Tude, Join the Tude

We encourage submissions of guest posts by all members of the triad: adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. We're especially interested in finding more work by birth parents and adoptees, because these perspectives are often left out of popular accounts about adoption.

We ask writers to tell their own stories or to take on a particular adoption topic in the news. These subjects—and more—always interest us:

The ethics of adoption

Transracial adoptions: personal stories, dealing with racism

Current research about adoption

Media hype and falsehoods about adoption

Culture-keeping with international adoptees

Adoptees and identity

Adoption politics: adoptee rights, sealed birth records

Search and reunion

Foster parenting: the process, the practice

The emotional fallout from adoption and fostering

The joy of adoption
